Everything what is going to be built in Copr.

Yes. See
   https://fedorahosted.org/copr/wiki/UserDocs#WhatIcanbuildinCopr
for precise wording.

Copr projects have at least one owner and can have several co-maintainers (we call it "build permission").
The ACL would be set/removed by Copr itself. Similarly like pkgdb do that now.

My idea was that you would sent to Copr (either via fedpkg or copr-cli) request to build package foo in project 
msuchy/bar. Client would check which sha is HEAD and send that sha to server. Server will check if sha belongs to 
dist-git branch msuchy/bar of package foo and if yes server will build SRPM from that sha and build that package in 
project msuchy/bar in Copr.

Yes.
